The month of September has been a blur. Life is moving full speed ahead and doesn't seem to be slowing down. Tim is working full time and in school 3/4 time getting his BSN. Thankfully he is able to complete his BSN through online classes but these class are absolutely ridiculous. There is a reason they call it a BSN because it is a load of BS! The amount of assignments he has is insane he probably writes an average of 10-15 pages a week in essays. Tonight he just handed in a 20 page health promotion project. Blah! Ava loves sitting with Tim while he is working on school -she is addicted to screens. It is kind of scary.
As for me I am busy run around with the kids during the day, and tutoring students in mathematics all night. I picked up a couple extra students this year and it has definitely pushed the limits especially with a new little baby. Thankfully all of my families are aware of this adorable little girl and have been very flexible in scheduling around feedings.
To add to the fun Pike started "going down hill." Tim and the kids went for a bike ride (which pike loves) and Pike ended up having a heat stroke. We think something else must have been going on prior to the ride since he has been acting weird. But a bunch of medicine, IV fluids, a big fat bill and he was back. Then a couple days later his hair started falling out, and he would not leave his kennel for anything. Yep anything, pillow thrown in the trash along with various towels placed inside for comfort. Another trip to the vet, blood work, x-rays, examination and the vet had no idea what was going on. He might have kidney stones which means special diet, and the hair falling out might just be an allergic reaction. Well another vet trip and Pike continued to get worse. Then a week later his energy started coming back and he was fine. His hair unfortunately will most likely not grow back. Poor thing, he'll really freeze this winter. He is still on death row watch but seems to be doing well. One more vet trip this year and it will most likely be the last :/
While all the kids have grown, Ava just doesn't seem to stop!
She keeps trying to suck on her whole hand. I will put her binkie in and she will spit it out and shove her hand in her mouth. We continue this game until she gives up and takes the binkie :)
If you have not heard of the "What does a fox say" song you are missing out. The boys love it and we saw this outfit and had to get it for Ava. We all have fun dancing around the house!
In wonderful news Ava started laughing! Tim was at work so I was attempting to get her to laugh and record her…sorry for the slight wandering. Either way it still is amazingly cute!
As for the boys…they are still as wild as ever. They have been loving coloring and beg me to print out pictures for them to color everyday. As always they love trying to get Ava to smile and laugh. In the picture below Ava kept "shooting" Ian and he would fall down as if he had been hit.
Another silly Ava face
The boys love their sister!
Even when she is hitting them in the face and trying to pinch their skin :)
